Big bird

Date: 4/24/2021

My parents were driving me to some performing arts theater and I was late. I was scrambling to put on what I suppose was a big bird costume. It was all rather odd. I dashed inside with my flowing yellow feathers and clownlike bird shoes. I didn’t recognize this place at all, but I could see younger kids already on stage with a fairly small audience for support. I stupidly tip toed onto the set like some sort of comic relief character and heard some laughter from the crowd. I turned and put my finger to my lips, miming for them to be quiet. There was a ladder about midway across that I spotted and began to climb. Plastic chicken feet were not intended for this kind of activity so I slipped a couple times (again hearing giggles from the audience as I did) before making it to the top and crawling through a small opening. Once inside I pulled the little curtain door shut behind me. Jeffryn walked over to me (in normal shoes) and asked if I was ready. Is shrugged and she made me respond in character, so I did my best to make some dumb voice that I thought a big bird would make, but none of the voices I did felt right, bor did th options that I tried to convey. After a bit she sent me over to a corner of the loft to peck at corn kernels and practice my lines.
